Note: Choose Print from the File menu, to print the contents of
the Database Import information window. The log file is also
saved at the location and file name specified on the status bar.
Note: Choose Exit from the File menu to close this window and
complete the import. The Database menu item on the Application
Window menu bar remains grayed, and cannot be selected, until
the Database Import information window is closed.
Note: If you import a database that contains the Unsolicited_Msgs
node into a Modbus application, you must delete the node before you
download the application. Otherwise, PanelBuilder will report a
validation error.
To export a database:
1. Open the application you want to export a tag database from.
2. Select Import/Export from the Database menu.
3. From the list that is displayed, choose the type of file or database
you want to export to and choose Next.
A default destination file name (pvtags.csv) and path are
displayed.
If you are exporting to a Taylor ProWORXPLUS database, you
can choose to include the symbol file (*.fis). This file contains
only the tag addresses, their corresponding names, and their
descriptions.
4. Choose Finish to complete the export, or type a new destination
file name and/or path, and then choose Finish.
Note: When exporting a PanelBuilder database in MODSOFT
format, tag addresses for 5-digit addressable devices are
converted to 6-digit addresses. A zero is added after the reference
number to convert the tag to 6-digit addressing.
